After Gas and Water.

The artesian we'll atthe asylum grounds
has got to the depth of 175 feet, about 80
of which has been drilled through
quicksand, one of the most difficult of all
strata to pierce Even the heavy steel
drill refused to do good work in the sand,
and frequent pumping was necessary.
There are two forces of men kept at the
work, a day and night gang. Now that
drilling has got fairly started good pro
gress is expected. The big walking beam
will be attached to the drill in a few days
and make the stroke much faster than is
now done with the rope alone.
, The diameter Of the well at the surface
is eight inches, and pipes are being put
in to prevent caving. 10 the distance Of
200 feet or to point where all traces of
fresh water are lost, the well will be piped
with eight inch piping and all water
pumped out. This pipe5wilf rest llpQn q
bench in the we'll which will be left for
the purpose by the five and one-half inch
drill which will take up the work where
the pipe reaches the solid rock, through
which no surface water penetrates, and
continue the boring to the bottom, five
andone-halfi inches, clear. BY this means
a perfectly dry we'll is dug all the way
down, as through the solid rock there is
no water, and above that the water is ex-
cluded from the well by the sheathing of
pipes. The Gray Bros. are going to make
a first class we'll. and If any natural gas
exists there viii, discover It.

Weather Signals for Jam mestoWr.
There is a strong likelihood that the
signal office Of the government will send
daily to this city its weather signals for
the twenty-four hours commencing at Z
a. m. These weather forecasts are tele-
graphed to signal service stations, railway
officials and others, and are readily COM
municated to the public by means of
flags The flags adopted for this pur-
pose are four in number. The white flag,
six feet square, indicates clear or fair
weather. The blue flag, same size, indi-
Gates rain or snow. A black trian guiar flag
refers to temperature, and Indications
are madeknown by its position in refer
ence to the other flags. The white tiag
with black square in the center indicates
the approach of a sudden and decided
fall in the temperature, This is the cold
wave signal.
For some time past Mr.. r. \. Bill has
acted voluntarily as signal agent at this
place for the government, and on several
occasions has sent accounts and valuable
reports Of storms and weather. The tor
nado last June was described by him for
the signal service department SO well that
he received complimentary acknowl
edgement for the same, and the accompa-
nylng photograph made by Mr.. Judd.
At Nj. Bills request the signal service
has informed him that the daily dispatch
es for operating the fiag service would be
sent to jamestown at the governments
cost If the necessary flags were procured
and arrangements made to hoist them
promptly and regularly. The cost of the.
flags and pole will be but nominal, S15 or
$40. and Mayor Graham has. consented
to detail man from the railway Office to
promptly attend to the adjusting of the
signals upon the receipt Of the dispatches.
The information thus obtained will be
always interesting and often of value.
Especially will this be SO to the railroad
office where accurate forecasts of weather
are often desired, and of great value.
Some OF the principal railroads in the
country display them for the benefit of
the country along the road by means OF
tin or sheet iron flags attached 10 the
baggage car.
The offer to transmit these dispatches
to jamestown is a generous one, IN par
tial recognition, no doubt, of. Mr.. Bills
services in the past, and should be taken
advantage of as it no doubt will be. The
flags viii be displayed from the superln-
tendent's Office, and inquiries as to the
exact cost of a set are already on the way.
There will be no trouble to raise the
small amount required, and jamestown
will secure a lasting and modern benefit,
both for the people here, and for farmers.
shippers and the railroads.

REDIsTRICTING STOPPED.

As intimated in our last issue, an in.
junction has been served on the commits.
sioners appointed TO redistrict the county,
and the matter goes to the chancery
court on the question of territory, raised
under the constitution, quoted last week.
The bill filed alleges that there are only
three hundred and sixty.nine square miles
Of territory in the county. based on the
assessors books of 1886, which give
1885, $50 acres of land and 544 town lots
in the county, according to the sworn
returns Of the assessors for 1885. Six
hundred and forty acres make a square
mile, and 236, 2O4 divided by $40 gives
1853 square miles in the county.
We have talked with q number of per-
sons on the question of the area of the
county, and many of them say their un-
Outstanding always has been that there
were six or seven hundred square miles
in the county, and hence, in creating
the eighteenth district. and in ordering
the redistricting of the county the ques
tion of territory was never thought of.
1t seems to be the prevailing opinion
that the constitutional question Of terri
tory ends the redistricting of the county,
unless the matter should be carried
through the courts. In that event, it
has been intimated that the decision of
the Supreme Court might require the
county to be redistricted into fifteen dis
tricts instead of eighteen, as at present.
The county court, at its April term.
will probably take steps to test the con.
stitutional question raised, or revoke all
orders proposing additional districts in
the county.

In this issue Of the HERALD AND TRB-
uNE we give a synopsis of the Interstate
Commerce bill which recently became q
law. The enactment of this law places
us beyond "oratorical phase Of regulating
traffic between the states and we have
reached the practical and experimental
phase" The bulk Of the defamation on
the question has been without knowledge
of the subject. but 1t is hoped that the
new law will be more practical and equit-
able in its operations than is now expect
ed by the best informed persons. Until
it is demonstrated by experience and judi
cally determined it is impossible to say
just what the provisions of the bill re-
quirc, but the interpretations from differ
ent sources are widely at variance. We
know that 1t provides for a railroad CON-
mission, prohibits rebates, requires that
charges shall be reasonable and made
public by printed schedules. The pro.
hibition against charging more for a
shorter than longer haul seems to be in
definite and will probably fail of its pur-
pose. or be perverted. The new law will
go into effect sixty days afterits approval
by the President, and the five Commissi-
oners to be charged with lis administra.
ton will be appointed at once. They will
be charged with the most responsible and
dangerous powers, as they may practical
ly nullify the long and short haul clause
of the law at will, as itprovides that COM
mon carriers, may in special cases, af-
ter investigation by the Commission, be
authorized to charge less for longer than
for shorter distances for transportation"
The pooling clause Is not submitted to
the Commission, and for each days Of
Tense, a maximum fine Of five thousand
dollars is imposed.
